A few observations:

1. That's a fuck-ton of distance for 150 cars.
2. "One more lane, bro" wouldn't make a goddamn difference.
3. We really need bike lanes... on every road.

Imagine how many other bike riders we would have if bike lanes weren't this terrifying

A fun game for cyclists : it's called The Race. I think there were rules somewhere on the internet. I've forgotten the details but this is basically how it goes.

• You get 1 point every time you pass a "slow" bike: people who are taking their time, old contraptions, etc
• 2 pts for decent bikes
• 3 points for cyclists in racing attire
• 4 points for electric bikes
• 5 points for cars

You lose the same amount every time you get passed

On good days I can easily get in the thousands with all the cars commuting. Makes me feel so good.

And so many of them can't stay on their side of the line. Glad nobody was opening doors.

It's actually an amazing feeling when this happens. Makes me pedal way harder.

I'd bet a bunch of them would rather be on their bikes with you if there were decent bike infrastructure...

If only separated bike lanes were more common. I'm really not comfortable riding with all those cars just right there.

I think we should join all those metal boxes together end to end, enlarge the space within, place them all on a track and make it run on a schedule. Just pitching ideas here, what do you guys make of it?

150 cars locking up several buses and an ambulance, no less.

All those school busses indicates this is at maximum possible congestion condition time.

The blocks around my kids school become an instant popup blockade for about 30 minutes everyday.

Public transit options are so necessary.

Flying by traffic really is one of the best feelings, not quite up there with being on a trail with no traffic, but still... just great.

God I hate the assholes that can't even stay in the lines when atopped.

150 people, likely? So a couple busses or a single crowded LRT? Heavens...

What is this, a bike lane for ants!?

Centre Street in Boston. Amusingly enough, this video starts a stone's throw away from a major transit hub connecting three commuter rail lines to the T.

And worth noting, it looks like this backup is almost entirely caused by the reduction to one lane at the Allandale Street intersection due to construction.

Bicycles FTW

But fuck those motorbikes in the bicycle lane

Meanwhile in my city: passed cars: 1. The second car is already blocking the bike lane for mysterious reasons and you cannot get around. Then first right turn possibility: all the cars turn right without watching out for bikes. Then the light is red again. Maybe you can make it alive during the next green phase 🥲

I like this feeling when I take the bike.

Shouldn't it be about double that number because of the second car lane?

This was my favorite thing to think about back when I lived somewhere bikable

Not including the buses that are sadly stuck there because of cars, I imagine that would be roughly 150 persons 😄
